The Committee considered the outline of a
refreshed way to achieve a comprehensive risk management approach
at Maidstone Borough Council.
The Committee heard that the three Critical
Risks identified were recruiting and retaining skilled staff;
pressures on the Building Control Service in relation to recruiting
and retaining skilled staff and the lack of suitable options for
temporary accommodation.
The Committee were informed that there was a
tracking process in place to monitor changes in the risks and a
report will be bought back to the Committee every six months.
RESOLVED:
1.
That the key risks facing the Council and the measures in place for
their management be noted.
2.
That the six monthly updates on the risk position of the Council be
reported to the Committee.
3.
That a report on a formal statement of the Council’s risk
appetite be submitted to the Committee for approval by September
2016.
